One Jacket Five Ways

July 10, 2014

The navy blazer… A timeless staple piece every man should own and have in his wardrobe. Its versatility and ability to be dressed up or down is what makes it such a popular item no matter what the season or occasion. From casual to formal and everything in between we show you five ways to wear the Navy Blazer Suit Jacket by Hope.

This look is designed with comfort and travel in mind. It’s perfect for a short flight or leisurely drive to a new or favourite destination. With plenty of pockets this look gives you lots of options and easy access to all your travel documents. Team the blazer with a plain white tee shirt and a pair of light blue, straight cut jeans for an effortlessly casual yet comfortable look.

Perfect for a date or a spot of shopping in the city. The key piece here is the muted, lighter coloured knit sweater which works perfectly against the contrasting darker colour of the blazer. It’ll keep you warm should the weather turn or if you decide to stay out late and it gives this look a smart yet casual feel. Add a knitted scarf in winter and don’t forget the flowers on your date!

The most versatile of the five looks, this one is casual and simple yet classy and elegant. Pair the blazer with a slightly off white shirt and a nice straight cut pair of coffee coloured chinos and don’t forget to roll up the hems to show off those nice brogues. So whether you’re attending an easy going garden wedding or dinner and a night on the town this look will keep you out of trouble.

A classic dressed down look inspired by the East Coast of the USA (think Upper East Side Manhattan). This look is perfect to wear to your office job in the city, particularly if you work in the creative field and combines the blazer with classic blue denim, a casual button down oxford shirt and of course that geeky and quirky bow tie. We’ve also added some crisp white sneakers to this look to keep things casual.

This look is one for more formal occasions. The crisp white shirt and vibrant red tie compliment the matching blazer and trousers combo perfectly while this classic timepiece by The horse and smart Royal RepubliQ shoes add that extra bit of elegance to this timeless look. If you want to tone this look down go with a nice navy or striped blue tie instead.
